If you're standing with your suitcase
 4     4     -4     5    -4   4     -2
But you can't step on the train
  -4  -4  -4     4    -4    -4     4   -4   4
Everything's the way that you left it
4  -4    -4  4     -4    4
I still haven't slept yet

  6   6      6     7  6   7    6      7     6
And if you're covering your face now
 4     4    -4     5      -4    4    -2
But you just can't hide the pain
 -4    -4  -4  -4 4     -4   -4   4     -4   4    4    -4  -4    4   -4    4
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you

6   6      9   -8    8   -8 8 6
If the truth is you're a liar
   4      4   6      6      6      5 -5
Then just say that you're okay
 -4    -4  -4   -4    4     -4  -4   4   -4
I'm sleeping on your side of the bed
   4     -4  -4  4     -4    4
Goin' out of my head now

  6   6      6     7      6      7      6      7   6
And if you're out there trying to move on
  4      4      4      -4    5     -4   4  -2
But something pulls you back again
-4   -4  -4  -4 4     -4   -4    4    -4     4    -4      4    -4   4     -4      4
I'm sitting here trying to persuade you like you're in the same room

  6   6   9    -8      6      9   -8    6     9     -8   6
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
  6   6   9    -8      6      9   -8    -7  -7   -7    7
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
  6   6   9  -8    6     9     -8   6   9  -8  6
And I wish I could still wish it was over
  4   -4 4 -4   -4   4  -4 4    -4    4  -4 4
But even if wishing is a waste of time
-4 4 -4 5  -4 4     -4     4    -4 4
Even if I never cross your mind

(Chorus)
 4     4     4      6    6   6      5
I'll leave the door on the latch
5   5   -4 -4   -4      5,    4   4  -4 -4    -4      5   (-4 5)
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
     4      4  4    6    6   6     5    5     5   -4   -4 -4   -4    5
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
4    4  -4 -4    -4     5   (-4 5)
If you ever come back
     4      4  4    -6   -6  -6     6     6    6    5  -4  -4
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
 -4  -4   4   -4   -4   -4    -4    -4    5  -4    4
And it will be just like you were never gone
     4      4  4    6    6   6    5     5     5    -4  -4  -4  -4    5
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
4   4   -4 -4    -4     5    4   4   -4 -4   -4      5      4
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
 6  4    4  -4 -4    -4      5   4   4   -4 -4    -4   5  4
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

Now they say I'm wasting my time
'Cause you're never comin' home
But they used to say the world was flat
But how wrong was that now?

And by leavin' my door open
I'm riskin' everything I own
There's nothing I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you can still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind

(Chorus)

6   6   -6    -7  -8    8    -7  -6  6    6   6   -6  6     -6     -7    7
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
6   -7       -8     8     -7      -6      6     6    -6   6   -6  -7    7
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
6   6   -6    -7  -8    8    -7  -6  6    6   6   -6  6     -6     -7    7
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
 6    -6   6   -6  -7     7,   6    -6    6   6   6     6
Oh just remember this, oh just remember this

(Chorus)

And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
